Ralph - Gradience (2021)

RALPH, a Toronto-based pop artist, has dropped her new EP, GRADIENCE, out now (July 7). The EP has six tracks, all infused with a fun ’70s/’80s sound reminiscent of Cher, Donna Summer and Kate Bush. The songs also have a contemporary pop sound, similar to the style of pop icon Dua Lipa. RALPH’s silky voice, accompanied by synths and wild guitar, creates a sound that is unique and refreshing.

GRADIENCE is chock-full of meaning and different inspirations, with an intentionally picked title to reflect the difficulties of the past year. RALPH comments, “The word gradience basically means blurred boundaries, which felt like an accurate summary of the collective last year but also a description of the songs on my EP. GRADIENCE is a collection of real and imagined truths, memories and dreams, all mixed together to create six different stories.”
